Unlike most medical subjects, obstetrics is largely concerned with normal events, and the most common problems involve decisions about when a normal event becomes abnormal. The normal events of pregnancy, labour and delivery are fully described together with the standards of care needed to manage them. The book describes the interface between normality and abnormality, and how it is to be recognised and responded to. This book will be of interest to lawyers and barristers alike and will provide them with a useful insight into obstetrics with regard to medico-legal litigation. It will also prove an invaluable source of reference for risk managers, doctors and midwives

Book Description
This book highlights minimum standards relating to the management of different conditions in the practice of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The editors explore clinical governance issues, common causes of as well as ways to avoid litigation. The UK is experiencing a dramatic increase in medico-legal claims. The 4 main reasons for litigation are: accountability, the need for an explanation, concern with standards of care and compensation. However the decision to take legal action is determined not only by the original injury, but failure to provide information, an explanation and an apology. Insensitive handling of an injury and poor communication after the original incident increases the risk of litigation and erodes the patient-doctor relationship. Doctors almost never deliberately cause harm to patients, however increasingly claims are being defended successfully. This book is invaluable to clinicians and lawyers alike and raises awareness of how to avoid facing clinical negligence claims in our day to day practice.

Book Description
Published by the Royal Society of Medicine Press in association with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Every obstetrician and gynaecologist needs to know how to minimize the risk of clinical negligence and also how to handle court cases and claims, since they may have to give evidence as witnesses, medical experts or defendants at some stage during their career. This book enables obstetricians and gynaecologists to practise safety and with confidence. The first section focuses on the law, and considers the duties of the obstetrician, with respect to liability and causation in clinical negligence claims. It also discusses the crucial issue of valid consent and the Civil Procedure Rules. The second section considers the principles of clinical risk management and includes an analysis of adverse outcomes, the basic principles of risk management, and how they relate to obstetrics and gynaecology. Principles underlying current practices in obstetrics are addressed in the third section. Topics discussed include prenatal screening, antenatal care, intrapartum care and operative obstetrics. The association between intrapartum events and cerebral palsy is discussed. The final section focuses on current opinion in approaches to gynaecology, including gynaecological surgery and oncology, endoscopy, sterilization/contraception, induced abortion, fertility/assisted conception and urogynaecology. This is a comprehensive, essential read for all practising obstetricians, gynaecologists and risk managers.
